Yay! My first Fanfic, sorry if it's crappy, I broke my back into this, so it's some of my best work.
Note: No SasuxHina haters! I know that it most likely happen, but I love the idea of this couple so. . . yeah. This Fanfic is a lot more about the story, but the couples supported are; Sasuxhina SakuxNaru and ShikaxTema
The forest was dead silent except for the periodic footfalls of three Kohona ninja. The forest was still as a picture perfect painting. But if you searched hard, you could make out three figures- two girls and one boy, running rapidly through the over-foliaged canopy.
"Naruto!" The whisper came from Sakura, a female ninja, her pale pink hair bobbing back and forth. "Are you sure we're going the right way?"
"My instincts tell me that he's this way, I swear." He replied, flashing a grin. Naruto was the only boy on the team, and of course the loudest, most cocky ninja in the whole village. Sakura sighed.
"Well, your instincts have led us all around this forest for hours, no avail." As she spoke she jumped ahead, clearly irritated.
"Um. . ." The third figure spoke up. Her dark hair was swept about, full of emotion. Her eyes, however, had no pupils, they were lavender and soft, like the petal of an endangered flower no one cared to save. The veins in her head were bulging with charka and she said timidly,
"My byakugan can see up ahead… there's a clearing we'll reach soon…" you could barley hear her talk, as usual. Yet, her words were the most useful of the three's comments.
"Thanks Hinata." Naruto spoke with his usual grin.
Hinata looked away, hiding her obvious blush.
"I-It was nothing Naruto-kun." She said, and joined Sakura up ahead.
"You guys! Wait up!" Naruto whined from behind, his footsteps becoming rapid as it started to rain.
The canopy kept most of the rain from hitting the group, but Hinata put her hood up anyway, hiding her luminous eyes.
After a few minutes, the group stopped short, as awe swept their minds and made their cocky attitudes shrink to miniscule pebbles. Before them, every tree had been knocked, blasted back, and in the center, was a gigantic crater.
Hinata's eyes widened,
"They're… everywhere!" she cried, and it was true, about every 20 miles a gigantic crater was blasted into the ground.
"What on earth could have done this?" Sakura was amazed as she looked, almost dazed by the raw power.
Naruto was silent, after a wile, his reply came in a whisper.
"Sasuke."
Hinata looked down, feeling sorry for Naruto, he had lost his best friend to the fangs of evil and blamed himself for it all.
"Look…" Sakura said, "There's an entrance inside of the crater! Come on!" She jumped from her perch in an old oak and skidded to the ground. Shortly followed by Naruto, and lastly, Hinata.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"There must be thousands of them!" An exasperated complaint rose out of Naruto. They were inside a never-ending labyrinth.
millions of doors stood silently in front of them.
They were inside Orichumaru's lair.
Grotesque patterns decorated the walls with barbaric intricacy, as they ran down the echoing hallways.
"Naruto-kun, Sakura-chan!" Hinata said, running frantically to try and keep up.
"Wha-!"
Hinata hit a stone, and fell expecting to fall flat on her face, as always but, she felt an arm around her waist, and hot breath upon her neck.
"Looking for me?" she was pressed against him, his cold voice sending shivers up and down her spine like winter's frost.
"Sasuke-kun…" Sakura stopped dead in her tracks, grabbing Naruto by his jacket and turning to face him. He was their hated friend, and their beloved enemy.
"Let me go!" Hinata struggled, but it was no use, her feeble body was nothing against this monstrous creation.
"Hinata-kun! Give her back!" Naruto yelled, his eyes flashing, though there was barley any light.
"Byakugan!" Hinata said softly, as her eyes once again bulged with chakra.
"What would you want with such a weak team mate anyways Naruto?" Hinata felt as if she had been stabbed with a kunai, his snake like words wormed their way into her brain, driving her down and making her feel even more pathetic…
Why I am so…worthless? Hinata thought to herself, searching the room for a way to get free of Sasuke's iron grip.
…Then, out of the corner of her eye she saw something unexpected.
His chakra points! I thought only Neji could see… If I could just free one hand…Suddenly Sasuke Staggered, and Hinata slowly removed her finger.
"Why you little!" His eyes flared with anger, and Hinata heard the whirl of shurikens as the battle began.
"Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" Naruto cried, and at once, he filled the hall with millions of clones, all rushing at the same time, same target. One thousand shuriken whirled at his enemy from all directions.
Hinata shut her eyes tight, though the Byakugan could still see.
"Careful Naruto! You'll hit Hinata-kun!" Sakura yelled.
"Oh, right… Hinata-kun." Naruto said as his clones backed off.
Hinata was being tossed around like an old doll. Sasuke wouldn't let go, even though she had given him a direct hit to the chakra network,. Her hands and waist were being held tightly now though, almost as if she were a weapon, a possession. As she remained silent, Sasuke shot around the hallway, destroying clones and avoiding petty attacks from Naruto.
Hinata finally opened her eyes and looked up.
He's so strong. . . and cold... Naruto-kun, careful!
Suddenly, Sakura's hands flew into non-stop motion and she muttered something before plunging her fist into the ground. A shudder resounded throughout the room as the hallway exploded into thousands of pieces, Leaving them in the center of one of the craters.
"Give up Sasuke!" Naruto screamed.
"hmmf" He smirked, Hinata still draped around his shoulders.
"Why should I give up? Your panting and I haven't even attacked you yet. Your pathetic, you and your pathetic female teammates."
Sakura's eyes widened in rage. "What did you say?"
Sasuke gave her no time to well in anger. He hurled Hinata to the ground and his hand lit up with a brilliant blue chakra, it sang like the stormy sky, and it looked as if the bright blue ball was almost alive. "Chidori!" At top speed, he flew towards them.
Hinata whimpered, trying hard not to cry, everyone was trying their best, and she was just lying in a huddled mass on the ground.
An explosion erupted from where Sasuke's chidori had hit, and little waves of lightning chakra were fluttering away like birds. Hinata finally found herself shaking, forcing her muscles to strain as she stood on her feet.
"Naruto-kun…I won't give up!" She fetched five shuriken from her pocket, and threw them as hard as she could, to catch Sasuke's attention.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Naruto, your so weak."
Sasuke demonic red eyes stared into the defiant blue of Naruto, pinned against the crater's rocky ground.
"Same with your girlfriends," He gestured to Sakura, who's unconscious body was limp on the ground.
"No, you're the one who's weak Sasuke." Naruto gasped for air, his heart pounding.
"You can only find happiness and strength by hurting yourself, that's-"
He gasped once more, seeing the fury in Sasuke's eyes.
"That's the thing that's truly…pathetic, you may be trying to avenge your clan… but you're just like your brother."
Blood spurted from his as Sasuke hurled him to the ground.
"Liar." His voice was interrupted by the whir of blades as he ducked, quickly avoiding all of the shuriken, exept for one...he caught it between his fingers and put it in his pocket. He looked up, there, Hinata stood, panting, her weak muscles straining.
"Hmmf, this'll be fun." Sasuke grinned as he saw the fear light up like a flame in her opaque resilient eyes.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Naruto's vision was blurry, he heard shouts of Jutsu's and screaming, but he couldn't see…
"Sakura-chan…Where is she?" he murmured to no one in particular as he strained to see, knowing no one would hear him, as always.
Hinata heard him though, amid the pain in her fresh wounds and the everlasting thunk of her heart, she heard him calling for her, Sakura-chan.
"Sakura-chan… is she alright? I must…" He tried to get up, hearing Sasuke's curses from only a yard or two away.
It was then that Hinata felt her heart, almost shudder, as if Sasuke and Naruto both had grabbed it and were pulling it down, down to the darkness of failure.
She stopped running, she felt fresh new pain in her wounds, and she saw him, the one she had cared for and fought for all along, finally get to his feet, only to stumble blindly for none other than Sakura-chan.
She felt something hit into her again, but the pain was miniscule in comparison to her shattered heart.
"Weakling! Why don't you fight!?" Sasuke yelled, watching her bleed, her eyes lost in sadness.
"Naruto-kun…" Hinata said, staggering.
He was helping her up… they were…
"Fight!" Sasuke cried, shooting more weapons into her mangled body.
"Naruto-kun…" She staggered, knowing it was over…everything was over.
"I-I…I give up…"
She fell to her knees, and fell with her heart into the darkness, the last thing she heard was the silent mockery of Sasuke, and the smirking words of 'failure.'.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Naruto, Naruto, NARUTO!" Sakura's voice, he had heard it so many times before, she was so sweet…
"WAKE UP NARUTO!"
His eyes were blasted open, and he was staring into her fierce green eyes and the forest above.
"Sakura-chan! What happened?" he tried to sit up, but fell back. "Where's Hinata?" he asked.
"Hinata's gone." Sakura said, her eyes open and filled with worry and fear.
"Sasuke took her away."
